Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. When I got an email from a very nice publicist at Tachyon Publications, and the word “Beukes” jumped out at me, I knew I would be accepting this […]
Welcome to What’s On My Plate, where I attempt to corral my reading plans into some semblance of organization, LOL. (Really, I try, but life always seems to derail my best laid plans…) The crazy month of February is FINALLY over! My daughter’s choir Pop Show was amazing, but completely exhausting for both of us. […]
The nitty-gritty: An atmospheric and eerie ghost story with psychological undertones that make this a satisfying horror story on several levels. The house held only broken dreams, shattered screams, and secret little dirty things. It was a liar’s playground, a dead man’s last stand. I was pleasantly surprised by Damian Angelica Walters’ short story collection […]
The nitty-gritty: A fun and furious romp with the gods through Manhattan, an intricately plotted murder mystery, and a delightful and refreshingly chaste romance. “One half brother with a huge penis, another with giant testicles. No wonder I’ve never gotten along with my family.” – Selene DiSilva I was so excited when I was […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [187] – LIKE A RIVER GLORIOUS by Rae Carson](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Like-a-River-Glorious.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. This cover and title were just revealed, and I’ve no doubt that this will be a popular WoW pick this week! But seriously, look at the GLORIOUSness that […]
The nitty-gritty: A short but powerful twist on the Lovecraftian tale, a story that didn’t quite work for me, but overall an interesting, clever and atmospheric tale. Mystery lingered in the air like the scent of a scorched book. It wasn’t until I had finished reading The Ballad of Black Tom that I found out […]
Since I started blogging, I haven’t bought nearly as many books as I used to buy, but once in a while I’m tempted by some of the specialty presses. Subterranean Press has been a favorite publisher of mine for quite some time, and their books are truly spectacular and worth every penny! A note about […]
The nitty-gritty: A refreshingly original YA fantasy with pirates, sea monsters and deeply developed and complex relationships. They can try to kill me all they want, but I’m the girl who stands on the backs of the beasts of the NeoPacific. The Minnow blazes from within, promising life and warmth and villainy, but out here […]
![Waiting on Wednesday [186] BRIGHT SMOKE, COLD FIRE by Rosamund Hodge](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bright-Smoke-Cold-Fire.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I loved Rosamund Hodge’s Cruel Beauty, and it looks like she’s continuing her trend of story retellings. This time she’s tackling Romeo and Juliet: When the mysterious fog […]
The nitty-gritty: A delicious blend of magic and intrigue, deception and romantic tension, a perfectly paced follow-up that will leave you longing for more. Beware: spoilers await all ye who have not read A Darker Shade of Magic! It’s been a year since I read A Darker Shade of Magic, but I easily fell right […]
